The Amazing Spider-Man #541

Details

Plot
A sniper’s bullet changes everything in Peter Parker’s life. Clad in his black costume, Spider-Man will stop at nothing to find the man who pulled the trigger and, even more important, the man who gave the kill order. This is Spider-Man at his darkest hour

In his cell, Kingpin is reading a book while he talks with Spider-Man. He explains to the wall-crawler (who had been threatening to come and kill him) that he, the Kingpin, doesn’t die, that it would be against the laws of nature for him to die. Peter says that he’s broken just about every law and that one more won’t hurt. He then hangs up on Kingpin and continues interrogating the man (one of Kingpin’s killers) that he had caught. The man denies knowing and anything about what happened with Peter’s aunt and after sticking to his story despite a few threats, Peter believes him. Instead of killing him, he decides that he’s going to send a message. When he hears MJ coming, he swings off into the night with the bad guy in tow.
